THE  BENNE  PLANT. 

THIS  highly  valoable  plant  (of  which  the  leaf  Is  the 
part  used)  is  especially  beneficial  in  all  cases  of 
cholera  Infantum,  diarrhoea,  dysentery  and  all  affi'CtloQS 
of  a  similar  nature.  It  has  also  been  proved  to  be  a 
great  remedy  for  sore  eyes;  but  for  all  cases  of  dysen- 
tery, either  in  children  or  adults,  its  influence  and  heal- 
ing properties  appear  almost  miraculous.  Seed  and

Put  half  a  pint  of  good  vinegar  in  a  tumbler,  In 
which  place  a  new  laid  egg  and  cover  the  tumbler 
elesely.  In  about  twenty-four  hours  the  egg  will  Ba 
dissolved;  sweeten  with  sugar,  and  the  fluid  will  be 
ready  for  use.  Take  a  table-spoonful  about  five  timeit

SUGAR. 

Sngar  Is  made  from  the  Juice  of  plants  and  trees,  I.e., 
from  sugar  cane,  beet  roots,  carrots,  ttLaple  trees,  etc. 
It  crystallzes,  Is  sweet,  soluble  in  water  and  alcohol,  and 
18  nourishing  to  the  human  system.    Nitric  acid  tntna  It 
to  oxalic  acid. 
Oue  hundred  parts  of  sagar  contain: 
28  parts  of  carbon; 
64  parts  of  oxygen; 
8  parts  of  hydrogen. 

HONEY. 

Honey  Is  composed  of  sugar,  mucilage  and  water,  and, 
being  ready-made,  llfee  manna  in  heaven,  falls  upon 
flowers  and  leaves,  and  Is  gathered  by  bees.  Aside  from 
worldly  philosophy,  sugar  or  honey  is  one  of  the  elements 
of  a  wise  God,  end  better  medicine  than  calomel. 

INDIA  RUBBER. 

The  common  India  rubber,  or  gum-elastic,  sometimes 
called  cacutchouc,  is  prepared  mostly  from  the  Juice  of 
the  real  "Siphonica  elastica,"  by  tapping  the  trees,  aa 
we  do  pine  for  rezin.  The  Juice  Is  white  like  milk,  and 
after  it  is  taken  from  the  trees  stiffens  itself  into  an  elas- 
tic gum  or  rezln.  It  always  remains  soft.  It  would  be 
well  to  obtala  Eome  of  the  seed  of  the  real  trees  for 
Utah. 


PRESERVATION   OF  CROPS  BY  ELDER. 

If  branches  of  elder  be  brushed  occasionally  over 
plants,  such  as  cabbages,  cauliflowers,  turnips,  or  any 
©ther  productions  of  the  garden,  the  operation  is  found 
to  have  a  remarkal'e  eflfect  in  preserving  the  plants  from 
the  attacks  of  insects,  and  also  preserving  frult-Hees 
from  being  blighted.

FLUID  FOR  PRESERVING   SEEDS  FROM 
THE  DICFREDATIONS  OF  VERMIN. 

H.  Brown,  of  Derby,  observes  to  the  Society  for  the 
Encourageraent  of  Arts,  etc  ,  that  when  he  steeped  seeds 
Tor  three  or  four  hours,  or  for  a  sufficient  length  of  time 
to  penetrate  the  husk,  In  a  strong  solution  of  liver  of  puI- 
phur.he  never  lost  a  seed  by  vermin  during  a  three 
years'  trial. 

METHOD  OF  MAKING  SEALING  WAX. 

Take  any  quantity  of  shell-lac  In  powder;  add  to  It 
half  Its  weight  in  rosin,  and  half  Its  weight  of  vermilion. 
Melt  these  Ingredients  over  a  gentle  fire,  and  when  they 
are  thoroughly  incorporated,  work  the  composition  Into 
sticks,  rolls,  or  any  other  form  desired. 

This  composition  makes  a  fine,  hard,  red  sealing  wax: 
any  other  color  may  be  obtained  by  using  a  pigment  of 
the  color  desired,  instead  of  vermilion. 

Red  lead  is  used  instead  of  vermilion  for  common  red 
■wax,  and  the  quality  of  the  composition  Is  further  de- 
based by  reversing  the  proportions  of  rosia  and  shel-lac. 

The  whitest  rosin  tjiould  be  used  for  all  bright  colois. 
The  wax  will  be  more  tenacious,  if  turpentine,  boiled 
with  a  !!ttla  water  till  It  Is  hard,  Is  used  Instead  of  rosin. 
The  lowest  heat  at  which  the  ingredients  can  be  melted 
should  also  not  be  exceeded. 

The  sealing  wax  may  be  softened  by  adding  white  wax 
to  it;  It  is  formed  Into  sticks  by  rolling  It  upon  a  stene 
while  it  is  yet  soft;  and  is  polished  merely  by  melting  Its 
surface  over  a  fire,  and  letting  It  cool  without  being 
touched. 

CEMENT  OR  GLUE  TO  RESIST  WATER. 

A  io'ulion  of  shell-lac  in  alcohol,  added  to  a  solution 
of  Isinglass  In  proof  spirit,  forms  a  cement  that  resists 
vater,  and  may  be  used  as  a  glue. 


23 

METHOD  or  PREPARING  A  CHEAP  SUB- 
STITDTE   FOR  OIL  PAINT. 

It  often  happens  that  people  do  not  choose,  or  can- 
not employ  oil  painting  In  the  country,  either  because  It 
does  not  dry  Boon  enough,  and  has  a  disagreeable  Bmellj 
or  because  it  is  too  costly, 

Ludiclie  employed,  with  the  greatest  success,  the  fol- 
lowing composition  for  painting  ceilings,  gates,  doorsj 
and  even  furniture: 

Take  fresh  curds,  and  bruise  the  lumps  on  a  grlndinp- 
stone,  or  in  an  earthen  pan  or  mortar,  with  a  spatula. 
After  this  operation,  put  them  In  a  pot  with  an  equal 
quantity  of  Ume,  well  quenched,  and  become  thick 
enough  to  be  kneaded:  stir  this  mixture  well  without 
adding  water,  and  a  whitish  semlflald  mass  will  be  ob- 
tained, which  may  be  applied  with  great  facility  like 
paint,  and  which  dries  very  speedily.  It  must  be  em- 
ployed the  day  It  is  prepared,  as  it  will  become  too  thick 
the  day  following.  Ochre,  Armenian  bole,  and  all  colors 
which  hold  with  lime,  may  be  mixed  with  It,  according 
to  the  color  desired;  but  eare  must  be  taken  that  the  ad- 
dition of  color  raade  to  the  first  mixture  of  curds  and  llmo, 
contain  very  little  water,  or  It  will  diminish  the  dura- 
bility of  the  painting. 

■When  two  coats  of  this  paint  have  been  laid  on,  It  may 
ba  polished  with  a  piece  of  woolen  cloth,  or  other  proper 
substance,  and  It  will  become  as  bright  as  varnish.  Thia 
kind  of  painting,  besides  its  cheapness,  possesses  the  ad- 
vantage of  admitting  two  coats  to  be  laid  on  and  polished 
In  one  day,  as  it  dries  speedily  and  has  no  smell. 


A3IBER  VARNISH. 

Oil  varnishes,  which  have  become  thick  by  keeping,  are 
made  thinner  with  spirits  of  turpentine.

STAINIlSrG  WOOD. 


Stilns  do  not  lie,  like  paints,  upon  the  surface  of  wood, 
bnt  sink  more  or  less  Into  Its  substance.  Hence  the  wood 
•which  has  beea  stained  exhibits  Its  natural  grain  and 
hardness;  and,  it  must  be  remembered,  that  If  the  wood 
be  not  white,  the  color  taken  will  be  a  compound  of  that 
of  the  wood  and  the  stain.  The  dyeing  woods  employed 
must  be  understood  to  be  In  small  chips,  or  raspings, 

When  the  wood  Is  intended  to  be  bru3hed  several 
times  over  with  any  fluid,  it  should  be  dried  previous  to 
each  repetition  of  the  operation.  The  woods  which  haro 
been  stained  are  afterwards  rubbed  up  with  rushes,  then 
with  a  cloth,  dipped  in  a  solulion  of  bees'  wax  In  spirits 
of  turpentine,  and  afterwards  rubbed  with  a  woolen 
cloth  alone.  When  the  stain  is  Intended  to  be  very  deep, 
the  pieces  should  be  boiled  In  the  staining  liquor,  and  not 
merely  brushed  over. 

TO  STAIN  WOOD  RED. 

Take  two  ounces  of  Brazil  wood,  and  two  ounces  of 
potash;  mix  them  with  a  quart  of  water,  and  let  th9 
composition  stand  in  a  warm  place  for  several  days,  stir- 
ring It  occasionally.  With  this  liquor,  made  boiling  hot, 
biush  over  the  wood  till  the  desired  depth  of  color  is  ob- 
tained. Then,  with  another  brush,  brush  over  the  wood, 
while  yet  wet,  with  a  solution  of  alum,  In  the  proportion 
of  two  ounces  of  alum  to  a  quart  of  water. 

For  a  pink  or  rose  red,  use  double  the  qaantlty  of  pot- 
BEhee. 

TO  STAIM  Tf  OOP  GREEN. 

Dissolve  verdigris  In  vinegar,  or  crystals  of  verdigris 
In  water,  and  brush  over  the  wood  with  the  hot  solutloai 


25 
TO  STAIN  WOOD  YELLOW. 

Infuse  an  ounce  of  turmeric  In  a  pint  of  spirits  of 
wlDB,  and  let  tUe  mixture  stand  for  several  daye  closely 
covered,  shaking  It  occasionally.  Brush  over  the  wood 
with  this  Inlusion.  A  reddish  yellow  may  be  given  to 
the  color  by  the  addition  of  a  little  gum-tragacanth. 

Diluted  nitric  acid  will  stain  wood  yellow. 

TO  STAIN  WOO©  BLUE. 

Dissolve  copper  in  diluted  nitric  acid,  and  brush  it 
Vfhile  hot  several  times  over  the  woodj  then  moite  a  so- 
lution of  pearl-ashes,  in  the  proportion  of  two  ounces  to 
a  pint  of  water,  and  brush  over  the  stain  made  with  the 
solution  of  copper,  t'U  the  color  be  perfectly  blue. 

The  green  stain,  made  as  above  with  verdigris,  may  bo 
changed  to  a  blue  by  the  solution  of  pearl-ashes. 

Tue  sulphate  of  indigo,  which  may  be  had  ready  pre- 
pared of  the  dyersj  wlllj  when  diluted  vvith  water,  maka 
a  blue  (tain. 

TO  STAIN  WOOD  BLACK. 

Brush  the  wood  several  times  with  a  hot  decoction  of 
logwood,  then  several  times  with  common  ink. 

To  make  a  very  fine  black,  brush  over  the  wood  with 
a  solution  of  copper  in  nitric  acid  as  for  blue,  and  after- 
wards with  logwood,  till  all  the  greenness  of  the  copper 
solution  Is  gone.  • 

TO  STAIN  WOOD  A  MAHOGANY  COLOR. 

Two  ounces  of  madder  and  one  ounce  of  fustic,  boiled 
In  a  quart  of  water,  make  a  light  mahogany  stain:  but  a 
dark  stain  may  be  obtained  by  using  half  an  ounce  of  log- 
wood insteat  of  the  madder,  and  brushing  the  staintd 
wood  over  with  a  weak  Bolutiou  of  potash. 


26 
TO  STAIN  WOOD  PURPLE. 

T»ke  one  ounce  ol  logwood  and  two  drachms  of  Brazil 
■wood:  boll  them  together  In  a  quart  of  water  over  a  mo- 
derate fire.  When  one-half  of  the  fluid  Is  evaporated, 
strain  the  decoction,  and  brush  it  several  times  over  the 
wood.  After  the  wood  is  dry,  brush  it  over  with  a  solu- 
tion of  a  drachm  of  pearl-ashes  In  a  pint  ol  water. 


A    FIREPROOF    AND    WATER-PROOF 
CEMENT. 

To  half  a  pint  of  milk  put  an  equal  quantity  of  vinegar 
In  order  to  curdle  it;  then  separate  the  curd  from  the 
wbey,  and  mix  the  whey  with  the  whites  of  four  or  five 
eggsj  beating  the  whole  well  together.  When  It  Is  well 
Mixed,  add  a  little  quiek  lime  through  a  sieve  until  it  has 
acquired  the  consistence  of  a  thick  paste. 

With  this  cement,  broken  vessels  and  cracks  of  ail 
kinds  may  be  mended;  it  dries  quickly,  and  resists  ttie 
acMou  of  water  and  of  fire  applied  to  vessels  containing 
water. 

POTATO  SIZE. 

Size  is  a  much-diluted  cement,  and  is  either  prepared 
from  common  glue  or  leinglass,  or  by  boiling  the  shreds  of 
parchment  or  while  leather,  or  consists  of  flour  paste 
made  very  thin;  but  these  compositjons,  particularly 
those  of  an  animal  nature,  quickly  putrefy,  and  produce 
a  disagreeable  smell,  from  which  potato  size  is  free.  Tlie 
potatoes  must  be  grated  into  water,  and  after  changing 
the  water  onee  or  twice,  there  will  be  found  at  the  bot- 
tom of  the  vessel  a  white  fecula  or  starch.  This  starch 
Is  made  into  size  by  boiling  it  with  a  sufllclent  quantity 
of  water.  Mingled  with  whitewash,  an  excellent  and 
durable  wtite  is  formed,  which  will  not  rub  cfT.

JOSEPH  SMITH'S  liA^T  DREAM. 


In  June,  1844,  when  Joseph  Smith  went  to  Carthage 
and  delivered  himself  up  to  Gov.  Ford,  I  accotapanled 
blm,  and  while  on  the  way  thither,  he  related  to  ma 
and  bis  brother  Hyrum  the  following  dream: 

He  Bald:  «'Whlle  I  was  at  Jordan's  In  Iowa  the  other 
night,  I  dreamed  that  myself  aud  my  brother  Hyrum 
went  on  board  of  a  large  8tesmbo»t,  lying  In  a  small 
bay,  near  the  great  ocean.  Shortly  after  wa  went  on 
board  there  was  an  '=alarm  of  Are,"  and  I  discovered 
that  the  boat  had  been  anchored  some  distance  from  the 
shore,  out  In  the  bay,  and  that  an  escape  from  the  fire. 
In  the  confusion,  appeared  hazardous;  but,  as  delay  was 
folly,  I  and  Hyrum  Jumped  overboard,  and  tried  our 
faith  at  walking  upon  the  water. 

At  first  we  sank  in  the  water  nearly  to  our  knees,  but 
as  we  proceeded  we  increased  in  faith,  and  were  soon 
able  to  walk  upon  the  water.  On  looking  towards  th« 
burning  boat  In  the  east,  we  saw  that  it  was  drifting 
towards  the  wharf  and  the  town,  with  a  great  flame  and 
clouds  of  smoke;  and,  as  if  by  whirlwind,  the  town  was 
taking  Are,  too,  so  that  the  scene  of  destruction  and 
horror  of  the  frightened  inhabitants  was  terrible. 

■We  proceeded  on  the  bosom  of  the  mighty  deep  and 
were  soon  out  of  tight  of  land.  The  ocean  was  still;  the 
rays  of  the  sun  were  bright,  and  we  forgot  all  the  trou- 
bles of  our  Mother  Kartb.  Just  at  that  moment  I  heard 
the  sound  of  a  human  voice,  and,  turning  round,  saw 
my  brother  Samuel  H.  approaching  towards  ns  from  the 
east.  We  stopped  and  he  came  up.  After  a  moment's 
conversation  he  Informed  me  that  he  had  been  lonefoma 
back,  and  had  made  up  his  mind  to  go  with  me  across 
the  mighty  deep. 

We  all  started  again,  and  in  a  short  time  were  blest 


28 

with  the  first  sight  of  a  cUyj  'wliope  gold  and  Bllver 
steeples  auJ  towers  were  more  beautiful  than  aay  I  had 
ever  teen  or  heard  of  on  earth.  It  stood,  as  It  were,  upon 
the  \<|e8tern  shore  of  the  roighty  deep  we  were  walking 
on,  and  Its  order  and  glory  seemed  far  beyond  the  wis- 
dom of  man.  While  we  were  gazing  upon  the  perfec- 
tion of  the  city,  a  small  boat  launched  oflf  from  the  port, 
and,  almost  as  quick  as  thought,  came  to  us.  la  an  In- 
stant they  took  us  on  hoard  and  saluted  us  with  a  wel- 
come, and  with  mnsic  such  as  is  not  on  earth.  The  next 
Bcene,  on  landing,  was  more  than  I  can  describe:  the 
greeting  of  old  friends,  the  music  from  a  thousand  towers, 
and  the  light  of  God  himsejf  at  the  retnrn  of  three  of 
bis  sons,  soothed  my  soul  iato  a  quiet  and  a  Joy  that  1 
felt  as  If  I  was  truly  In  heaven.  I  gazed  upon  the  splen- 
dor; I  greeted  my  friends,  I  awoke,  and  lo,  it  was  a 
dream! 

While  I  meditated  upon  such  a  marvelous  scene,  I  fell 
asleep  again,  and  behold  I  stood  near  the  shore  of  the 
burning  boat,  and  there  was  a  great  consternation  among 
the  otncers,  crew  and  passengers  of  the  flaming  craft, 
as  there  seemed  to  be  much  ammunition  or  powder  on 
board.  The  alarm  was  given  that  the  fire  was  near  the 
magazine,  and  in  a  moment,  suddenly,  it  blew  Tap  with  a 
great  noise,  and  sank  in  deep  water  with  all  on  board. 
I  then  turned  to  the  country  east,  among  the  bushy 
openings,  and  saw  William  and  Wilson  Law  endeavoring 
to  escape  from  the  wild  beasts  of  the  forest,  but  two  lions 
rushed  out  of  a  thicket  and  devoured  them.  1  awoke 
again." 

I  will  Bay  that  Joseph  never  told  this  dream  again,  as 
he  was  martyred  about  two  dayg  after.  1  relate  from 
recollection  as  nearly  as  I  caD>

"A  REVELATION  TO  JOSEPH  SMITH,  JITPI., 
GIVEN  JUNE,  1830. 

The  TTOTds  of  God  whKh  he  spake  unto  Moses  at  a 
tlipe  H'byii  Muses  was  catight  np  Into  an  exceeding  h'gh 
raauntatn;  and  he  saw  God  lace  to  face,  and  he  talked 
w!  h  him,  and  the  glory  of  God  vrAi  upon  Mose!>;  there- 
fore Moses  could  endure  his  piesencs.  And  God  spiika 
unto  Moses,  saying:  Behold  I  ani  the  Lord  God  Al- 
mighty, and  endless  is  my  name,  for  I  am  tvllhout  be- 
ginning of  days  or  end  ol  years,  and  Is  not  tbis  endless? 
And  behold  thcu  art  my  son,  wherefore,  look  and  I  will 
show  thee  the  workmanship  cf  mine  hacls,  hut  not  all! 
for  my  works  are  without  end,  and  alio  my  word',  for 
they  never  cease:  wherefore  no  man  can  behold  all  my 
■works  except  he  behold  all  var  glory;  and  no  mcia  can 
behold  all  my  glory  and  afterwards  remain  In  the  flesh. 
And  1  have  a  work  for  thee,  Moses,  my  sonj  and  thou 
art  In  the  slmllitade  of  mine  only  begotten;  and  mine 
only  begotten  Is  and  shall  be  the  Savior,  for  he  is  fnll  of 
grace  and  truth;  but  there  Is  no  God  besides  me;  and  all 
things  are  present  with  me,  for  I  know  them  all.  And 
now  behold  this  one  thing  I  show  unto  thee,  Moses,  my 
son,  for  thou  art  In  the  world,  and  now  I  show  it  noto 
thee. 

And  it  came  to  pass  that  Moses  looked  and  beheld  th« 
world  upon  which  he  was  created,  and  Moses  beheld  tho 
world  and  the  ends  thereof,  and  all  the  children  of  men 
which  was  and  which  are  created;  of  the  same  he  greatly 
marvelled,  and  wondered,  and  the  presence  of  God  with- 
drew from  Moses,  that  his  glory  was  not  upon  Moses; 
and  Moses  was  left  unto  himself.  And  as  he  was  left 
unto  himself  he  fell  unto  the  earth,  and  It  came  to  pass 
that  it  was  for  the  ^pace  of  many  hours  before  Moses  did 
again  receive  his  natural  (strength  like  unto  man;  and 
he  BHlth  unto  himself:  Now,  for  this  caufe  I  know  that 
man  la  nothing,  which  thing  I  never  had  supposed,  bat 


30 

now  mine  eyes,  mine  own  eyes,  but  D(>t  mine  eyes,  for 
mine  eyes  could  not  have  beheld;  for  I  ehonld  h«ve 
•withered  and  died  In  his  presence;  buthfs  glory  was  open 
me;  and  1  beheld  his  face,  for  I  was  transfigured  befor* 
him. 

And  H  came  to  pasn  that  when  Moses  had  said  thesa 
words,  behold  Satan  came  tempting  blm,  saying:  MoseB> 
son  of  man,  worship  me.  And  it  came  to  pasF,  that 
Moses  looked  upon  Satan,  end  said  who  art  thon? — for 
behold  I  am  a  son  of  God,  in  the  Blmllltude  of  his  only 
begotten;  and  where  Is  thy  glory,  that  I  shoold  worship 
thee?  For  behold  I  could  not  look  upon  God  except  his 
glory  should  come  upon  me,  and  I  were  strengthened  be- 
fore him,  but  I  can  look  upon  thee  in  the  nitural  man. 
Is  it  not  BO  Euiely?  Blessed  ig  the  name  of  my  God,  for 
hU  spirit  hath  not  altogether  wlthdrawra  from  me,  or 
else,  where  is  thy  glory,  for  It  Is  darkness  unto  me;  and 
I  am  Judge  between  thee  and  God;  for  Gcd  said  unto  me, 
worship  God.  for  him  only  shalt  thou  serve.  Get  thoa 
hence,  Satan;  deceive  me  not,  for  God  said  unto  mOy 
thou  art  after  the  similitude  of  mine  only  begotten. 

And  he  also  gave  me  commandments,  when  he  called 
unto  me  out  of  the  "burning  bush,"  saying:  Call  upon 
God  In  the  name  of  mine  only  begosten,  and  worship  me. 
And  again  Moses  said,  I  will  not  cease  to  call  upon  God. 
I  have  these  things  to  inquire  of  him,  for  his  glory  has 
been  upon  me;  wherefore  I  can  judge  between  hlra  and 
thee.    Depart  hence,  Satan. 

And  now  when  Moses  had  said  these  words,  Sataa 
cried  with  a  loud  voice,  and  went  upon  the  earth,  and 
commanded,  sayins;  I  am  the  only  begotten,  worship 
me.  And  It  came  to  pass  that  Moses  began  to  fear  ex- 
ceedingly; and  as  he  began  to  fear  he  saw  the  bitterness 
of  hellt  nevertheless,  calling  upon  God,  he  rscelved 
etrength,  and  he  commanded,  saying:  Depart  from  me, 
Satan,  toi  t^is  sne  God  only  will  I  worship,  wlilch  \&  tiA

God  of  glory.  And  now  Satan  becan  to  tremble,  ani 
the  earth  ihook;  and  Moses  received  strength,  and  cal- 
ed  upon  God,  saying:  In  the  name  of  Jesua  Christ,  dcT 
part  hence  Satan. 

And  It  came  to  pass,  that  Satan  cried  with  a  lond 
voice,  with  weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth,  and  depart- 
ed hence;  even  from  the  presence  of  Moses,  that  be  be- 
held htm  not. 

And  now  of  this  thing  Moses  ')ore  record,  but  because 
of  wickedness  it  Is  not  had  among  the  children  of  men. 
And  II  came  to  pass  that  wh»n  Satan  had  departed  from 
the  presence  of  Moses,  he  lifted  up  his  eyes  unto  hea- 
ven, being  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  which  bearetb 
record  of  the  Father  and  the  Son;  and  calling  on  the 
name  of  God  he  beheld  his  glory  again,  for  It  was  upon 
him,  and  he  heard  a  voice,  saying:  Blessed  art  thou, 
Moses,  for  I  the  Almighty  have  chosen  thee,  and  thoa 
Shalt  be  ayade  stronger  than  many  waters;  fortbey  shall 
obey  thy  command  as  If  thou  wert  God.  And  lo,  I  am 
with  thee,  even  unto  the  end  of  thy  days,  for  thou 
Shalt  deliver  my  people  from  bondage,  even  Israel  my 
chosen. 

And  It  came  to  pass  as  Koses*  voice  w^as  still  speaking, 
he  cast  his  ejes,  and  beheld  the  earth,  yea,  even  all  the 
face  of  It,  there  was  not  a  particle  of  It  which  he  did  not 
behold,  descrying  It  by  the  Spirit  of  God.  And  he  be- 
held also  the  inhabitants  thereof,  and  there  was  not  a 
soul  which  he  beheld  not,  and  he  discerned  them  by  tho 
Spirit  of  God.  And  their  numbers  were  great,  even  num- 
berless as  the  saad  upon  the  sea  shore.  And  he  be- 
held'many  lands;  and  each  lasd  was  called  earth,  and 
there  were  Inhabitants  on  the  face  thereof.  And  It 
came  to  pass  that  Moses  called  upon  God,  saying:  Tell 
me,  I  pray  thee,  why  these  things  are  so,  and  by  what 
thon  madest  them?  And  behold  the  glory  of  God  was 
npon  MosPB,  so  that  Mofes  stood  In  the  presence  »f  God,

said  unto  Mose?,  for  mine  own  porpose  hare  I  ma?e 
these  things.  Here  Is  wisdom,  and  it  remalneth  in  mai 
And  by  the  word  of  my  power  have  I  created  them, 
which  Is  mine  only  bsgotten  Son,  who  Is  full  of  graca 
and  truth.  And  worlds  without  number  have  I  created; 
and  I  aleo  created  them  for  mine  own  purpose;  and  by 
the  Son  I  created  them,  which  Id  mine  only  iiegotten. 
And  the  first  man,  of  sll  men,  have  I  called  Adam, 
which  is  many.  But  only  an  account  of  this  earth,  and 
tbe  inhabKants  thereof,  giro  I  unto  you;  for  behold 
there  are  many  worlds  which  have  passed  away  by  the 
words  of  my  power.  And  there  are  many  which  now 
stand,  and  Innumerable  are  they  unto  man,  but  all  things 
are  numbered  unto  me,  for  they  are  mine,  and  I  know 
them. 

And  it  came  to  pass  that  Moses  spake  unto  the  Lord, 
eaying,  Be  merciful  unto  thy  servant,  0  God,  anl  tell  me 
«oucerning  this  earth,  and  the  inhabitants  thereof,  and 
also  the  heavens,  and  then  thy  servant  will  be  content. 

And  the  Lord  God  spake  unto  Moses,  saying,  The 
lieavens  they  are  many,  and  they  cannot  be  num./ered 
unto  man,  but  they  are  numbered  unto  me,  for  they  are 
mine,  and  as  one  earth  shall  pass  away,  and  the  heavens 
thereof  J  even  so  shall  another  come;  and  there  is  no  end 
to  my  works,  neither  to  my  words. 

iBehold  this  is  my  work  to  my  glory,  to  the  immortality 
and  eternal  life  of  man.  And  now  Moses,  my  son,  I 
will  speak  nnto  you  concerning  this  earth  upon  which 
thou  standest;  and  thou  shalt  write  these  things  which  1 
. shall  speak,  and  in  a  day  when  the  children  of  men 
'ehall  esteem  my  words  as  nought,  and  take  mny  of 
them  frdm  the  book  which  thou  shalt  write,  behold  I 
will  raise  up  another  like  unto  thee,  and  they  shall  be 
had  agalp  among  the  chi  dren  of  men;  among  as  maiy 
as  shall  believe  those  words  were  spoken  unto 
Moses  in  the  Mount,  the  name  of  whiih  shsUnotba 
known  among  the  ohiliren  01  mjn.  And  now  they  ar« 
epjken  auto  you.    Amon.
